The sixth round has no winner. I decide it's time to give the inhuman butlers a bit of a confidence boost after their recent struggles, so I return to a basic voice command. Can they set an alarm?. S Voice: I ask the S3 to set an alarm for 10.23 and the phone promptly responds with the correct alarm prompt. Success at last. Siri: Apple's mouthy one also has no trouble tackling alarm setting. I ask it to set an alarm for 11.25 and that's exactly what Siri does. The seventh round is a tie. Okay, enough with the super easy stuff. It's time to test our software servants on their trivia-retrieval skills.
S Voice: Samsung uses the Mount Everest example in its S Voice help list, so I'm confident the S3 won't have any trouble answering this one, But, oh dear, I'm starting to suspect S Voice is a little deaf, My first attempt sees, "How high is Mount Everest?" turned into "hi" -- which understandably confuses proceedings, I olixar x-ranger iphone x survival case - marine blue try again, and it hears "Are now", Finally it hears "Mount Everest" but that's all it's heard -- turning my question into a meaningless statement, After five attempts I throw in the towel..
Siri: I bark at Siri and Apple's digi-butler doesn't flinch. With a nonchalance boarding on the smug it says, "This may answer your question" and delivers a data sheet that tells me the height of Everest is 29,035ft. Slick. The eighth round goes to Siri. After all this ceaseless barking at slabs of glass and plastic I'm feeling in need of some light relief. Can my robot friends tell me a joke?. S Voice: Moments after asking the S3 to tell me a joke, it seems like something is happening. An app is being fired up. The Samsung logo comes in to view and music starts playing. You could say this is a joke, but only if the joke is on Samsung. I switch back to S Voice and it all becomes clear: the phone thought I was asking it to play some music. Awkward to say the least.
Siri: Can Siri do any better? Siri has clearly been asked this before, Smug levels are at maximum as it responds with a quip about not understanding "tongue-in-cheek", I push my case for some better light relief than that once more and get: "Two iPhones walk into a bar., I forget the rest." It's pretty weak sauce I grant, and my sides remain unsplit, but it is technically a joke, The ninth round goes to Siri, S Voice is definitely having the tougher time of it so again, I olixar x-ranger iphone x survival case - marine blue opt for another question that is given as an example query in the S Voice help list, Search plus the search term takes us back into voice command territory, but perhaps the S3 can make up some ground here?..
S Voice: The S3 steps up to the plate, but instead of searching for bonobo apes, it hears "send sa", followed by "send message me" -- and once again we're back on the entirely unwanted phantom message treadmill. Now it tells me there's no one called 'me' in my contacts. Not. This. Again. Siri: By contrast, Apple's butler is mockingly slick -- rattling off: "If you like, I can search the web for 'bonobo apes'" -- picking up the ball S Voice so clumsily dropped and throwing it back without hesitation.
